Bridges
The perfect way to replace missing teeth.
The problem
- A missing tooth or teeth.
- Potential bite and jaw joint problems from teeth shifting to fill the space.
- The notorious "sunken face" look associated with missing teeth.
- Desire to improve your chewing ability.
- Desire for a more permanent solution than simple dentures.
The solution
Achieving a natural looking and realistic smile after tooth loss is possible with dental bridges. Dental bridges are one method used by dentists to fill a gap created by a missing tooth (or teeth). Depending on the dental bridge type you choose, the procedure and cost will vary. If you have questions about dental bridges, please read on for more dental bridge work info.
A dental bridge is made up of two dental crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth in between. Natural teeth, dental implants, or a combination of natural teeth and dental implants can be used to support the bridge. The dental bridge type you choose will depend on the condition of your smile, your cost goals, and the cosmetic results you desire. Whether you are looking for a t emporary or p ermanent tooth loss solution, there is a dental bridge ideally suited for your needs.
Advantages
- Restores gaps reliably and predictably.
- Might be most economical approach if the adjacent teeth already need fillings and dental crowns.
- Durable and least likely to pop-off or fracture.
Disadvantages
- Requires removal of significant tooth structure on adjacent teeth, which is undesirable if the supporting teeth are free of tooth decay.
- Complicates use of dental floss with a potential for periodontal disease.
- Least aesthetically pleasing.
- Decay or damage may require replacement of the entire bridge.
